[pianotech] Fork and piano temp. and pitch

[Mark Schecter]

Right, I actually have no interest in infinite anything, especially 
discussion, but this is not that huge. I know we'll never get to 
perfection, but I think we'll be just a little closer if we tune our 
forks at room temp, and then tune our pianos with the fork at plate 
temp, knowing that that's NOT A440. I'm open to someone weighing in from 
a different perspective that might cause me to rethink, but if that 
doesn't happen, this might be a useful concept in somebody's thinking 
process. That's all I really had in mind.

Meanwhile, I'm sure you heard about the guy who tied a bunch of helium 
balloons to his lawnchair, and was really surprised how high he got?
